How can I tell if my
crush likes me? Are there any sure-fire signs that he is interested?

His Answer: “If a
guy likes you, he can’t stop looking at you. He also seems to talk to you more
than any of your friends. Or, his friends may come up and talk to you or your
friends more than what would seem normal,” says Mason, 15. “Obviously, if he
compliments you, it’s a huge sign. Other signs would be ‘accidentally’ running
into you a lot, remembering random things about you, or him smiling a lot when
he’s around you.”

Decoded: Whew!
That’s a lot of different signs. Let’s take ‘em one by one. First, if you catch
a cutie looking at you more than a few times, he probs thinks you’re pretty and
really likes you. Also, if this dude is crushin’ on ya, he’ll totes want to
talk to you all the time, or he may send his friends over to get the scoop on
if you like him, too!

Does this boy go out of his way to tell you how pretty your
eyes are, or says how great a job you did on that super tough test ya both
took? If he does, bingo! He def likes you. Or do you constantly bump into him
at the mall or while you’re out with your friends? He might be heading over
there just because he wanted to see ya.

Weeks ago, you mentioned how much you love this one band,
and now, he told you about their new album? This cutie didn’t just remember
that you loved that band because he liked them, too. He remembered because he
likes you and wanted to share interests! Also, if you’re around him and he
never stops smiling? Score! He’s happy to be around you and is totes diggin’
ya.

Your Move: You
see that guy lookin’ your way again? Send him a smile. That way, he knows
you’re flattered by him. Next time this cutie throws you a compliment, throw
him one back. How ‘bout telling him how he played an awesome game last week, or
that he probably did great on the test, too. Instead of him “accidentally” running
into you while you’re at the mall, invite him to go with you next time! He
remembers that one band you like? Remember something about him, like his fave
TV show. If you bring it up with him, he’ll know you remembered. If you return
his flattery, chances are he’ll pick up on it and ask you out sometime to grab
some ice cream. Sweet!
